Mechanical design
Structural development supports precision mechanisms, cosmetic requirements and designs with demanding sealing needs such as IP67.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Product Development Support
Engineering support that connects product intent, industrial design, electronics, packaging and manufacturing feasibility.
Process overview
Product Development Support at Createch
Createch can support customers before tooling begins. Product teams translate requirements into a manufacturing plan covering appearance, mechanical structure, electronics, material selection, packaging and the tests needed for safe, repeatable production.
Capabilities
Process scope and production support
Electronics
Support can include schematic design, component layout and software-programming requirements.
Packaging
Outer packaging and internal protective structures can form part of the complete product program.
Testing
Development testing checks safety, life-cycle and extreme-condition requirements before mass production.
Applications and RFQ planning
Parts and programs suited to product development support
- New plastic and electromechanical products
- Cosmetic consumer-product development
- Connected and smart-device programs
- Design-for-manufacturing reviews
- Prototype-to-production transfers
Early review works best with product requirements, industrial-design files, mechanical and electronic concepts, target materials, applicable standards, expected volumes, timing and cost objectives.
Typical workflow
From technical review to controlled production
The exact sequence changes according to the drawing, material, volume and validation requirements.
- 01Product requirement definition
- 02Appearance and structure development
- 03Electronics and packaging coordination
- 04Prototype and test
- 05Tooling and pilot production
- 06Mass-production transfer
From concept CAD to injection-molded production
Developing a plastic product involves more than making the CAD moldable. Tooling, material, mating interfaces, appearance, purchased components and assembly must work as one production plan.
1. Define the product and open decisions
Share concept CAD, dimensions, the intended use, target market, BOM assumptions, first-order quantity and target timing. Identify which requirements are fixed and where redesign is welcome.
2. Review manufacturability and interfaces
Review wall sections, draft, ribs, bosses, parting lines, fastening and locking interfaces. Separate cosmetic preferences from functional dimensions and identify tests needed to resolve design risk.
3. Agree the prototype and engineering scope
Define what each build must prove: appearance, fit, function or assembly. Confirm deliverables, engineering/NRE scope and customer approval milestones before detailed development.
4. Release tooling and validate production
Approve the revised design, resin, tool plan and acceptance criteria. Review samples and required secondary operations together before authorizing ongoing production.
Existing CAD and concept-stage projects are both welcome for evaluation. Prototype methods, costs, timing and manufacturing location are confirmed after technical review; no universal tooling budget or lead time applies to every product.
